A    TRIBUTE 

TO 

AUGUSTUS  SAINT-GAUDENS. 

By  Glenn  Brown. 

^Augu^us  Saint-Gaudens,  the  great  arti^  of  the  age, 
was  a  charming  companion,  a  true  friend,  and  a  citi- 
zen leading  to  ideal  life.  His  affable  manner,  quiet 
humor,  quick  appreciation,  broad  culture,  and  perfe(5t 
ta^e  made  his  companionship  sought  and  enjoyed. 
A  sympathetic,  candid  nature  and  high  aspirations 
made  his  friendship  earne^ly  desired.  His  unselfish 
assi^ance  to  committees,  in^itutions,  and  the  govern- 
ment has  been  a  guiding  fadlor  toward  purity  of  ta^e 
and  nobility  of  life. 

^His  thorough  equipment,  sincerity  of  purpose,  grasp 
of  composition,  knowledge  of  detail,  under^anding  of 
mass,  natural  genius,  brilliant  imagination,  and  poetic 
nature,  combined  with  infinite  patience,  untiring  energy, 
and  effacement  of  self,  have  produced  the  greater 
sculpture  of  the  age. 

^His  arti^ic  light  shines  in  refined  low  relief  and 
bold  monumental  composition.  The  relief  portraits 
of  Robert  Louis  Stevenson  and  Ju^ice  Gray  are  ex- 
quisitely delicate,  harmonious,  reitful,  dignified,  and 
beautiful.  Portrait  bu^s  have  attained  a  new  dignity 
in  his  hands.  The  bu^s  of  John  Hay  and  David  J. 
Hill,  while  full  of  repose  and  individual  expression, 
possess  high  sculptural  value. 

^He  has  made  single  figures  impressive,  something 
rarely  accomplished.     The  Puritan,  a  work  of  art  in 

5 


line  and  pose,  vividly  typifies  the  hone^,  untiring, 
unbending  energy  of  the  reformation.  Farragut  ^ands 
alert,  prepared  for  any  emergency,  serious,  as  the 
de^iny  of  the  fleet  depends  upon  his  a(5tion,  com- 
manding, endowed  with  life  and  art.  Lincoln,  a 
hopeless  model  in  the  hands  of  other  sculptors,  is  a 
great  work  of  art  as  depidled  by  the  mind  and  wrought 
by  the  hand  of  Saint-Gaudens.  Lincoln's  kindly 
nature,  brotherly  love,  hone^y  of  purpose,  clear  and 
far-seeing  vision,  grave  with  the  de^iny  of  the  nation, 
firm  in  the  salvation  of  the  Union,  are  shown  in  these 
wonderful  pieces  of  portrait  sculpture. 
^Our  admiration  of  Saint-Gaudens'  genius  reaches  the 
higher  point  when  we  study  his  great  compositions 
with  their  wonderful  retrained  movement,  full  of  life, 
yet  dignified  and  ^atuesque;  natural,  but  glowing 
with  imagination,  poetry  and  inspiration.  The  Shaw 
Memorial  is  a  great  composition  in  relief,  ideal  in 
its  sense  of  movement,  natural  in  its  depidion  of  types, 
and  imaginative  in  its  expression  of  sentiment.  A  spir- 
itual figure  which  inspires  the  group  to  deeds  of  bravery 
and  self-renunciation  makes  this  memorial  a  brilliant 
and  satisfactory  combination  of  the  ideal  and  real.  The 
Sherman  statue,  guided  by  the  spirit  of  vidtory  and 
peace,  vividly  portrays  the  sense  of  motion — positive, 
resi^less,  forward  motion.  This  is  one  of  the  great 
compositions  of  the  world,  full  of  realism,  imagination 
and  poetry,  happily  combined,  graceful  in  all  its  lines, 
dignified  and  imposing,  retrained  and  beautiful. 
flit  is  fitting  that  Saint-Gaudens,  one  of  the  immortals, 
should  have  conceived  the  poetic,  myfterious,  and 
elevating  figure  of  immortality  which  re^s  calmly  for 
evermore  in  Rock  Creek  Cemetery,  an  expression  of 
his  genius,  imagination,  poetry,  and  eternal  fame.

AUGUSTUS   SAINT-GAUDENS 


fl"You  can  do  anything  you  please.     It'»  the  way  it'»  done  that 
makes  the  difference." — Augustus  Saint-Gaudens. 


^Augu^us  Saint-Gaudens,  by  birth  half  French  and 
half  Irish,  by  nature  and  training  American,  came  to 
this  country  at  his  mother's  brea^  in  1848  when  six 
months  old.  His  father,  Bernard  Paul  Erne^  Saint- 
Gaudens,  was  bom  in  the  little  village  of  Aspet  in  the 
south  of  France.  There  he  learned  his  trade  of  shoe- 
maker, and  thence  he  slowly  travelled  by  way  of  Paris 
and  London  to  Dublin,  Ireland,  where  he  met  his 
future  wife,  Mary  McGuiness,  who  bound  slippers  in 
the  shoe  ^ore  for  which  he  made  boots.  On  arriving 
in  New  York  this  hot-headed,  eccentric  Frenchman, 
to  the  detriment  of  his  trade,  developed  infinitely  more 
intere^  in  organizing  Fraternal  Societies  than  in  selling 
shoes.  Consequently,  from  the  fir^,  Augu^us  Saint- 
Gaudens,  the  third  of  five  sons,  took  part  in  the  family 
druggie  for  a  livelihood. 

^  Until  the  age  of  thirteen  the  youngfter  received  the 
ordinary  education  of  the  New  York  boy  of  1850. 
Those  were  the  days  of  lickings  at  the  hands  of  his 
teacher,  and  of  fights  with  the  We^  Broadway  "gang;" 
and  the  druggie  with  these  elements  shaped  the  energy 
which  la^ed  him  through  life.  Yet  despite  his  prosaic 
surroundings  his  arti^ic  inclinations  took  shape  early. 
They  originated  with  the  representation  of  soldiers  upon 

7 


a  school  slate.  They  emerged  through  charcoal- 
scrawled  drawings  upon  the  neighboring  walls.  And 
finally  they  were  recognized  by  Dr.  Rea  Agnew,  a 
cu^omer  of  Bernard  Saint-Gaudens,  who  found  such 
merit  in  the  young  man's  sketches  that  he  urged  the 
father  to  continue  his  son's  education  in  this  direction. 
^In  consequence  the  boy  was  apprenticed  to  a  hard- 
tempered  man  named  Avet,  one  of  the  fir^  ^one  cameo 
cutters  in  America,  who  led  Augu^us  a  miserable  life 
for  the  next  few  years.  At  the  same  time  the  boy 
entered  the  drawing  school  of  the  Cooper  In^itute. 
There  he  ^udied  evenings  until  in  1 864  he  revolted  at 
the  ill  nature  of  his  employer,  and  upon  being  dis- 
charged, obtained  a  position  with  a  more  kindly 
ma^er,  Jules  LeBrethon,  and  at  about  the  same  time 
left  the  Cooper  Union  to  work  from  the  life  in  the 
National  Academy  of  Design. 

^This  period  of  Saint-Gaudens*  youth  passed  in  the 
excitement  of  the  days  of  the  Civil  War.  From  his 
window  he  looked  down  upon  the  New  England  Vol- 
unteers marching  along  Broadway,  in  the  city  squares 
he  witnessed  the  recruiting;  and  these  sights,  combined 
with  a  glimpse  of  Lincoln  driving  through  the  city, 
stirred  his  blood  with  that  ^rong  but  retrained  patri- 
otism which  finally  he  fused  into  his  monuments  of 
Farragut,  Lincoln,  Shaw,  Logan  and  Sherman. 
^But  the  New  York  life  came  to  an  end  in  1 867  when 
his  father  made  possible  for  him  a  trip  abroad.  The 
young  man  went  at  once  to  Paris,  where,  though  ^ill 
earning  his  living  by  cutting  cameos,  he  ^udied  fir^  at 
the  Petite  Ecole  and  later  under  Jouffroy  in  the  Ecole 
des  Beaux  Arts.  His  ma^er  at  that  time  led  a  revolt 
again^  the  bloodless  classicism  of  the  period.  Yet  as 
the  teacher  never  gave  radical  vent  to  his  theories,  so 
8 


through  later  Kfe  the  pupil  tempered  by  a  Readying 
re^raint  his  desire  for  individual  expression. 
C|In  Paris  Saint-Gaudens,  a  cheerful,  athletic  youth, 
made  his  two  great  friends  who  ^ood  close  to  him 
all  his  life,  M.  Paul  Bion  and  M.  Alfred  Gamier. 
Because  of  their  friendship  he  nearly  enli^ed  in  the 
French  army  when  the  war  with  Prussia  broke  out. 
But  a  tearful  letter  from  his  mother  changed  his  plans, 
so  that  in^ead  he  went  to  Rome,  where,  for  about  four 
years,  he  ^ruggled  with  poverty  and  debts  in  his  efforts 
to  complete  his  training.  At  la^,  however,  the  cameo- 
cutting  brought  him  a  few  lucky  commissions  from  the 
family  of  Mr.  Montgomery  Gibbs,  and  gave  Saint- 
Gaudens  an  opportunity  to  finish  his  fir^  ^atue  of 
"Hiawatha,"  to  execute  his  fir^  ordered  monument,  a 
figure  of  "Silence,"  and  to  go  back  to  America  with 
some  prospedl  of  definite  work. 

^  The  young  man's  career  in  the  United  States  did  not 
Wretch  out  before  him  immediately  in  any  such  ^raight 
and  easy  manner  as  he  may  have  expedled.  Fir^  one 
hope  and  then  another  fell  through,  though  an  occa- 
sional small  task  like  that  of  the  relief  of  Mr.  D.  Mait- 
land  Arm^rong,  came  to  his  hands.  But  at  la^,  after 
fteady  persi^ence,  he  obtained  the  order  for  the  Farra- 
gut  ^atue  now  in  Madison  Square,  New  York.  From 
that  day  his  position  was  assured,  and  soon  he  secured 
the  opportunity  to  aid  Mr.  John  LaFarge  by  modelling 
the  sculpture  for  that  painter's  scheme  of  "Angels  Ador- 
ing the  Cross"  in  St.  Thomas'  Church  on  Fifth  Avenue. 
So  then,  after  founding  the  Society  of  American  Arties 
with  a  number  of  other  young  men,  and  after  his  long- 
delayed  marriage  to  Miss  Augu^a  F.  Homer,  he  went 
back  to  Paris  to  carry  out  his  work. 
^There  in  Paris  he  completed  the  Farragut  and  the 

9 


Adoring  Angels,  though  these  larger  commissions  did 
not  represent  the  only  important  ^ep  which  he  took  at 
the  time.  He  had  long  been  intere^ed  in  the  subjedl  of 
Renaissance  reliefs  and  medals,  such  as  those  by  Pisano, 
and  Mr.  LaFarge  had  already  urged  him  to  try  his 
hand  at  like  efforts.  Accordingly,  here,  at  la^,  he 
found  an  opportunity  to  begin  upon  a  series  of  medal- 
lions which  through  life  he  developed  with  marked 
intere^,  among  them  those  of  Mr.  William  Gedney 
Bunce,  Mr.  Chades  F.  McKim,  Mr.  George  W. 
Maynard,  and  especially  that  of  M.  Ba^ien  Lepage. 
^  At  la^,  with  the  completion  of  the  Farragut,  Saint- 
Gaudens  definitely  returned  to  New  York  to  take  up 
his  well-e^ablished  career  as  an  American  sculptor. 
For  a  time  he  lived  in  the  Sherwood  Studios  at  the 
corner  of  57th  Street  and  Sixth  Avenue.  But  soon 
he  found  a  building  at  148  We^  Thirty-sixth  Street 
which  he  altered  to  his  ta^e.  There  he  continued  to 
model  for  the  next  fifteen  years,  Parting  with  the  angels 
for  the  tomb  of  Ex-Governor  Morgan,  a  monument 
which  was  burned  in  the  cemetery  while  in  process  of 
carving. 

^Here,  too,  in  the  Thirty-sixth  Street  ^udio,  Saint- 
Gaudens  gathered  about  him  the  friends  of  his  life; 
such  men  as  Mr.  Stanford  White,  Mr.  Charles  F. 
McKim,  Mr.  Joseph  Wells,  and  Mr.  Thomas  W. 
Dewing.  Here  Mr.  H.  H.  Richardson,  the  Bo^on 
architecft,  brought  Bishop  Phillips  Brooks  whenever 
the  two  men  visited  New  York,  giving  the  sculptor  the 
opportunity  of  meeting  the  preacher,  a  monument  to 
whom  was  to  be  one  of  his  la^  completed  works. 
And  here,  as  a  boy  to  ^udy  art  and  to  sweep  the  floors, 
came  Frederick  William  MacMonnies. 
^  Saint-Gaudens  had  always  been  a  lover  of  the  theatre 
10 


and  of  music.  Now  he  found  others  who  resembled 
him  in  their  enthusiasm.  Therefore,  fir^  this  group,  as 
well  as  Mr.  Francis  Lathrop,  formed  the  habit  of  going 
to  a  little  beer  saloon  on  the  Ea^  side  of  Broadway, 
opposite  Washington  Place,  to  listen  to  programmes 
furnished  them  by  the  peculiar  combination  of  a  violin, 
a  clarinet  and  a  piano.  Then  they  employed  the  musi- 
cians to  come  on  Sunday  afternoons  to  the  Thirty-sixth 
Street  Studio.  And,  a  little  later,  they  developed  more 
ambitious  concerts  which  were  held  there  weekly 
during  the  winters  while  the  ^udio  remained  in  Saint- 
Gaudens'  hands. 

^  The  intimacy  with  Mr.  Richardson,  which  sprang 
up  rapidly,  led  to  Saint-Gaudens  receiving  the  order 
for  the  monument  to  Colonel  Robert  Gould  Shaw, 
which  ^ands  in  front  of  the  State  House  in  Bo^on. 
On  fir^  consideration,  the  artist  planned  a  mode^ 
relief,  but,  during  the  fourteen  years  devoted  to  it,  the 
composition  became  a  labor  of  love  which  consumed 
more  of  the  sculptor's  energy  than  he  ever  put  into 
any  other  commission.  The  work  upon  the  scaf- 
folding before  the  Shaw  during  the  hot  summers  with 
scarcely  a  pause  to  eat  an  apple  for  lunch  undoubtedly 
ha^ened  the  breakdown  of  Saint-Gaudens'  health. 
Yet,  on  the  other  hand,  the  monument  furnished  him 
with  much  amusement — an  amusement  which  he 
invariably  obtained  from  his  art — both  through  the 
antics  of  the  horse  which  posed  for  him,  and  through 
the  very  difficulties  he  encountered  in  hiring  negro 
models,  who  persi^ed  in  believing  the  ^udio  to  be 
the  den  of  a  devil  of  vivisection. 

^Along  in  this  early  period,  too,  came  the  Lincoln 
for  Chicago,  provided  for  in  the  will  of  Mr.  Eli  Bates, 
and  the  relief  of  Dr.  James  McCosh  for  Princeton, 

II 


New  Jersey.  In  the  case  of  the  Lincoln  the  committee 
fir^  asked  Saint-Gaudens  to  compete.  But  upon  his 
refusing,  according  to  his  principle,  he  received  the 
order  outright  and  eventually  produced  the  gaunt, 
thoughtful  figure  now  so  well  known. 
^The  ^atue  to  Deacon  Samuel  Chapin,  popularly 
knowTi  as  "The  Puritan,"  followed  the  Lincoln.  It 
has  since  acquired  especial  interest  as  in  1903  the 
New  England  Society  of  Pennsylvania  commissioned 
the  sculptor  to  make  for  Philadelphia  a  variation  of 
the  fir^  work,  and  so  therein  Saint-Gaudens  obtained 
one  of  his  few  opportunities  of  modifying  his  earlier 
efforts  in  accordance  with  his  later  ideas.  The  head 
he  changed  from  the  round  Gaelic  face  of  Chapin  to  a 
long  New  England  profile,  more  typical  of  the  au^ere 
forefather,  while  the  folds  of  the  cloak,  the  Bible  and 
the  base,  he  also  altered  to  an  extent. 
^After  the  Chapin  ^atue,  Mr.  Henry  Adams  ordered 
the  figure  for  the  Rock  Creek  Cemetery  in  Washing- 
ton. In  giving  the  commission  Mr.  Adams  would 
only  sugge^  that  Saint-Gaudens  consult  with  Mr. 
LaFarge,  who  thoroughly  underwood  Mr.  Adams* 
oriental  thoughts.  Therefore,  the  sculptor  carried 
out  his  task  as  well  as  he  could  with  the  advice  of 
the  painter  and  ultimately,  it  seems,  satisfied  the  wishes 
of  Mr.  Adams.  Though  there  have  been  a  variety 
of  names  accorded  the  result,  Saint-Gaudens  rarely 
expressed  himself  on  the  subjec5t. 
^During  this  time,  while  engaged  upon  the  Rock 
Creek  figure,  Saint-Gaudens,  at  the  sugge^ion  of  his 
friend,  Mr.  C.  C.  Beaman,  fir^  visited  Cornish,  New 
Hampshire.  There,  soon  afterwards  he  bought  an 
old  brick  tavern  which  he  altered  into  a  summer  home. 
And  there,  sixteen  years  later,  he  went  to  live  perma- 
nently, much  to  the  benefit  of  his  laft  days. 
12 


^About  that  date  also,  in  1887,  the  sculptor  met 
Robert  Louis  Stevenson  through  Mr.  Will  H.  Low, 
an  intimate  mutual  friend.  The  author  and  the  sculp- 
tor at  once  admired  one  another,  and  the  medallion, 
which  has  since  assumed  so  many  forms,  Saint-Gaudens 
modelled  in  the  Hotel  Albert  in  Eleventh  Street, 
Stevenson  propped  up  in  bed  and  his  wife  reading 
aloud.  Only  five  sittings  of  two  or  three  hours  apiece 
could  be  obtained  then,  though  later  Saint-Gaudens 
had  further  opportunity  when  Stevenson  lived  at 
Manisquan,  New  Jersey. 

^Shortly  after  this  Saint-Gaudens  set  at  modelling 
the  figure  for  the  "Smith"  tomb  in  Newport,  Rhode 
Island,  from  which  he  developed  the  better  known 
"Amor  Caritas."  The  fir^  variation  is  now  in  the 
Luxembourg,  Paris,  while  a  second  ^ands  as  a  memo- 
rial to  the  daughter  of  Dr.  S.  Weir  Mitchell  in  St. 
Stephen's  Church,  Philadelphia. 
^In  1 892,  when  the  idea  for  the  World's  Fair  had 
reached  definite  form,  Saint-Gaudens,  at  the  invitation 
of  Mr.  Daniel  H.  Burnham,  went  to  Chicago  with 
Mr.  Richard  M.  Hunt,  Mr.  Charles  F.  McKim  and 
others,  as  one  of  the  Committee  on  the  laying-out  of 
the  grounds.  This  was  about  the  fir^  of  a  long  series 
of  like  tasks  which  the  sculptor  undertook  through 
his  life,  hoping  in  such  a  way  to  aid  the  cause  of  art 
in  his  country.  Mr.  Burnham  desired  that  Saint- 
Gaudens  model  a  share  of  the  sculpture.  But  the 
latter  had  so  many  calls  upon  him  that  he  gave  his 
personal  attention  only  to  the  figure  of  Columbus  in 
front  of  the  Admini^ration  Building,  which  he  carried 
out  with  the  able  assi^ance  of  Mrs.  Francois  M.  L. 
Tonetti,  then  Miss  Mary  Lawrence,  and  to  the  Expo- 
sition Medal  of  which  he  designed  the  obverse.     Upon 

13 


the  reverse  of  the  Medal  he  originally  modelled  a 
nude  boy,  which  raised  a  feminine  hue  and  cry.  At 
fir^  he  tried  to  satisfy  this  in  a  number  of  ways,  but 
failing,  he  relinquished  the  attempt  in  disgu^. 
€JThe  ^atue  of  Peter  Cooper  now  took  the  place  of  the 
Rock  Creek  Cemetery  figure  upon  the  scaffolding 
behind  the  Shaw  relief,  which  seemed  almost  a  fixture. 
On  the  top  floor  of  a  large  ^able  in  Twentieth  Street, 
the  sculptor  began  one  monument  to  General  Logan  for 
the  Lake  Front  in  Chicago,  and  another  to  President 
James  A.  Garfield  for  Fairmount  Park,  Philadelphia. 
While  in  a  third  and  smaller  ^udio,  Saint-Gaudens 
modelled  the  horse  of  the  Sherman  from  the  famous 
high  jumper  Ontario,  began  the  figure  for  the  Sherman 
Vicftory  from  the  woman  whom  he  always  considered 
to  be  the  handsome^  model  he  had  ever  seen,  and 
finished  with  great  intere^  his  bas-relief  of  Mr.  William 
Dean  Howells  and  his  daughter,  Miss  Mildred 
Howells. 

^Before  turning  from  his  life  in  New  York,  mention 
should  be  made  of  Saint-Gaudens'  teaching  at  the  Art 
Student's  League.  His  work  there  held  a  firm  place 
in  his  thoughts.  Again  and  again  in  later  years  he 
said  regarding  it  that  he  always  had  felt  surprised  to  see 
that  for  the  mo^  part  women  learned  more  readily  than 
men,  and  that  they  copied  what  ^ood  before  them  with 
greater  facility,  but  that  in  the  end  the  men  made  the 
further  progress  and  composed  and  created  to  more 
purpose. 

^During  these  la^  years,  however,  the  sculptor's  ner- 
vousness increased  ^arltingly  through  overwork.  Also 
he  became  anxious  to  compare  what  he  had  done  with 
the  sculpture  recognized  in  Europe.  So,  as  the  unveil- 
ing of  the  Logan  and  the  Shaw  allowed  him  to  shift 
14 


his  ^udio  paraphernalia,  he  left  for  Paris  in  October, 
1 897.  There  he  hired  a  ^udio  in  a  quiet,  garden-like 
alley  at  3  bis  Rue  de  Bagneux,  where  he  remodelled 
the  Sherman  Cloak,  the  figure  of  the  Vidtory  and  vari- 
ations of  the  Stevenson  for  St.  Giles  Church  in  Edin- 
burgh, and  where  he  began  his  ^udies  for  the  figures 
of  the  Bo^on  Public  Library. 

^For  some  time  Saint-Gaudens  seemed  unhappy  and 
neura^henic.  But  after  a  trip  to  his  father's  birthplace 
with  his  old  friend  M.  Alfred  Gamier,  he  returned 
in  better  spirits  and  took  up  his  life  in  Paris  and  his 
intimacy  with  Dr.  Henry  Shiff  and  those  others  he  had 
known  so  well  in  younger  days.  He  said  later  that 
the  three  men  who  to  him  stood  out  before  all  the  re^ 
at  that  time  were  James  MacNeill  Whi^ler,  Paul 
Dubois  and  Augu^e  Rodin.  Saint-Gaudens  regarded 
Paul  Dubois'  Joan  of  Arc  as  one  of  the  greater  ^atues 
in  the  world.  But  Whi^ler  in  person  mo^  attracfted 
the  sculptor.  For  the  painter  came  often  to  the  ^udio 
in  the  evening  and  chatted  with  his  usual  wit,  or  accom- 
panied Saint-Gaudens  and  his  friends  to  their  dinner  at 
Foyot's,  an  old  cafe  opposite  the  Luxembourg.  So 
with  such  surroundings,  with  the  gay  life  of  the  Parisian 
spring,  with  the  benefit  of  a  trip  or  two  in  Spain,  and 
with  the  success  accorded  him  by  the  French  after  his 
exhibitions  in  Paris,  he  regained  his  buoyancy,  until 
suddenly  he  learned  that  he  was  ill  and  mu^  go  home. 
^Saint-Gaudens'  return  to  America  in  1900  marked 
the  la^  period  of  his  life,  a  period  which  he  spent  for 
the  mo^  part  in  Cornish,  New  Hampshire.  There  he 
completed,  besides  lesser  commissions,  his  monuments 
to  Sherman,  Lincoln,  Brooks  and  the  Caryatids  for  the 
Albright  Art  Gallery  in  Buffalo;  and  there  he  renewed 
his  thoughts  upon  the  groups  to  go  before  the  Bo^on 

15 


Public  Library.  At  this  time,  too,  his  attention  turned 
more  than  ever  before  toward  helping  the  cause  of 
American  Art.  Two  objecfls  in  especial  intere^ed 
him  to  a  tremendous  extent.  One  was  the  founding 
in  Rome  of  the  American  Academy  to  be  devoted  to 
the  Fine  Arts  much  in  the  same  manner  as  the  Villa 
Medici  School  has  been  devoted  by  the  French  Gov- 
ernment. The  other  was  the  arti^ic  development  of 
the  National  Capitol  at  Washington;  where,  in  con- 
nection with  The  Park  Commission,  he  spent  much 
time  and  gave  the  be^  of  his  assi^ance  in  criticism 
and  advice  toward  e^ablishing  on  an  even  firmer  basis 
the  beauty  of  that  city.  Luckily,  although  ill,  he  con- 
tinued his  work  for  longer  than  expected  because  of  his 
life  in  the  open  air.  Skating,  skeeing  and  golf  he  kept 
up  while  his  health  held  out.  And,  at  last,  when  he 
no  longer  could  walk,  he  would  sit  by  the  hour  upon 
one  of  the  porches,  or  he  would  have  himself  carried 
from  ^udio  to  ^udio  in  an  improvised  Sedan  chair. 
^His  fir^  serious  occupation  lay  in  the  completion  of 
the  Sherman  monument,  which  he  modified  from  the 
model  exhibited  in  Paris,  studying  the  bronze  after  it 
had  been  set  up  in  the  field  back  of  the  house  and 
changing  it  even  then.  On  the  Sherman  also,  he  grati- 
fied his  ambition  to  follow  the  example  set  by  the 
^atue  of  Marcus  Aurelius  on  the  Capitoline  Hill  in 
Rome  and  to  gild  an  eque^rian  monument.  For,  as 
he  expressed  it,  he  was  "sick  of  seeing  ^atues  look  like 
^ove  pipes." 

^Second  in  importance  to  him,  he  had  by  him  in  his 
^udio  the  ^udies  for  the  Bo^on  Public  Library  Groups 
con^antly  turning  over  the  question  of  their  develop- 
ment. One  pede^al  would  have  borne  four  figures 
symbolic  of  Executive  Power,  Law  and  Love.  Upon 
16 


the  other  base  he  planned  three  figures  of  Science,  Labor 
and  Music.  For  his  own  purpose,  the  ^udies  were 
ready  to  be  completed,  and  if  he  had  lived  he  would 
have  finished  them  in  short  order.  They  had  long 
been  upon  his  conscience.  Yet  to  him  the  problem 
seemed  so  difficult,  since  the  figures  were  to  ^and  where 
they  would  force  themselves  upon  the  Library  visitor, 
that  he  felt  unwilling  to  carry  them  through  until  freed 
from  financial  considerations  or  the  limitations  of  ill 
health. 

^The  "Crerar"  Lincoln,  also  for  Chicago,  was  the 
next  vital  commission  which  he  set  to  work  upon  after 
the  Sherman,  and  therein  he  carried  out  his  old  desire 
of  representing  the  President  seated.  The  fir^  Lincoln 
had  been  a  landing  figure  of  Lincoln  the  Man,  and 
now  by  way  of  contra^  he  wished  to  represent  in  addi- 
tion a  seated  Lincoln  the  Head  of  the  State.  Therefore, 
to  accomplish  the  purpose  fittingly,  he  took  up  one  of 
his  series  of  endless  experiments  with  four-foot  models, 
composed  in  varying  ways,  and  with  full-sized  painted 
paper  representations  of  the  entire  composition  eredted 
out  of  doors.  The  monument  is  yet  to  be  unveiled,  but 
it  went  to  the  bronze  founder  some  time  before  the 
sculptor's  death. 

^Another  ^atue  which  Saint-Gaudens  attacked  with 
ze^  at  virtually  this  same  time,  was  of  Charles  Stewart 
Parnell,  for  Dublin,  Ireland.  The  arti^  took  intere^ 
here,  because,  as  he  often  remarked,  he  had  enough 
Irish  in  his  make-up  to  appreciate  the  charad:er  of  his 
subjecft.  It  is  a  peculiar  coincidence  that  as  few  photo- 
graphs of  Parnell  could  be  found,  the  sculptor  turned 
to  a  series  of  caricatures  published  in  Punch  and  like 
papers  during  Parnell's  trial.  So  the  very  sketches 
drawn  to  attack  the  patriot  ultimately  came  to  be  used 

in  his  honor. 

17 


^At  this  time,  also,  among  his  lesser  commissions,  Saint- 
Gaudens  completed  such  bu^s  as  that  of  the  Honorable 
John  Hay  and  such  reliefs  as  those  of  Mrs.  C.  C. 
Beaman,  Ju^ice  Horace  Gray,  the  Honorable  Wayne 
MacVeagh  and  his  Wife,  and  Ju^ice  and  Mrs.  Stanley 
Matthews.  Probably  the  commission  for  the  Mac- 
Veagh family  absorbed  him  the  mo^.  The  sculptor 
had  often  dwelt  upon  the  ^rong  magnetic  power  of  the 
female  sex  as  contra^ed  with  the  domination  of  the 
masculine  intelledt,  and  therefore  here  delighted  in 
giving  rein  to  his  theories.  Yet  all  portraits  held  his 
attention  since  he  thoroughly  enjoyed  the  peculiarities 
of  his  sitters,  attempting  habitually  to  shift  his  mental 
attitude  to  that  of  the  person  beside  him,  whether  it  was 
a  hyper-sensitive  woman  or  a  rugged  man. 
^It  seems  especially  unfortunate,  in  view  of  his  ill  health, 
that  upon  the  night  of  Ocftober  eleventh,  1 904,  his  chief 
^udio  should  have  burned  to  the  ground,  not  only  with 
all  the  sculpture  in  progress,  but  as  well  with  mo^ 
of  his  portfolios  containing  the  records  of  forty  years. 
But  he  bravely  set  about  recovering  his  lo^  ground, 
and  before  long  had  his  commissions  again  well  under 
way. 

^Soon  after  this  fire  he  returned  to  the  Brooks  monument 
which  he  had  ^udied  since  1 901 ,  and  which  he  carried 
so  far  that  only  mechanical  enlargement  and  caifting 
was  needed  for  its  completion  at  the  time  of  his  death. 
As  finished,  the  figure  of  the  preacher  ^ands  to  the  front 
of  an  architectural  canopy.  His  left  hand  grasps  a 
Bible  that  re^s  upon  a  ledtern,  his  right  hand  is  raised  in 
a  gesture  of  emphasis,  while  the  swing  of  the  gown  and 
the  diredt  look  from  the  head  gives  an  atmosphere  of 
energy  and  motion.  Behind  the  Brooks,  and  again^  a 
cross  that  rises  by  His  side,  is  a  figure  of  Chri^,  half 
18 


shadowed,  veiled,  reposeful,  who  touches  the  preacher 
on  the  shoulder  with  His  right  hand  as  if  inspiring  the 
words  to  be  spoken.  The  complete  monument  Saint- 
Gaudens  reached  through  his  usual  succession  of 
alterations.  In  his  fir^  efforts  he  had  an  angel  with 
the  Brooks.  Then  he  designed  two  figures  of  the 
Chri^  in  relief.  And  only  after  much  thought  did  he 
decide  to  make  this  ideal  figure  in  the  round. 
^Saint-Gaudens'  work  now  drew  to  its  close,  and  his 
final  tasks  included  solely  the  designs  for  three  of  the 
United  States  coins.  The  Caryatids  for  the  Albright 
Art  Gallery,  and  the  bas-relief  of  his  wife. 
^The  coins  he  undertook  at  the  suggestion  of  President 
Roosevelt.  But  the  confusion  of  the  carrying  out  of 
this  commission  often  made  him  regret  that  he  had 
entered  upon  it.  Finally,  however,  after  a  discussion 
which  la^ed  over  a  year  and  a  half,  it  was  settled  that 
the  Cent  should  exhibit  a  profile  head  on  one  side  and 
lettering  alone  on  the  other;  that  the  Ten  Dollar  gold 
piece  should  carry  the  same  head  with  shifted  inscrip- 
tions and  a  landing  eagle;  and  that  the  Twenty- 
Dollar  gold  piece  should  show  a  full  length  figure  of 
Liberty  and  a  flying  eagle.  The  flying  eagle  Saint- 
Gaudens  developed  from  the  bird  on  the  1857  white 
Cent.  The  landing  eagle,  he  re-altered  from  a  design 
he  had  used  on  such  works  as  the  Shaw  Memorial, 
The  Roosevelt  Inauguration  Medal  and  the  shield  of 
the  Garfield  Monument.  Seventy  or  more  models  of 
the  bird  were  to  be  seen  in  the  ^udio  waiting  for  the 
casual  visitor  to  name  his  preference.  The  profile  head 
Saint-Gaudens  modelled  in  relief  from  an  unused  bu^ 
for  the  Sherman  Vidlory,  while  the  full  length 
Liberty  he  rendered  from  a  scheme  he  had  long  had  in 
mind.     It  is  mo^  unfortunate  that  the  Mint  did  not 

19 


notify  the  sculptor  when  they  abandoned  the  thought 
of  a  new  design  for  the  Cent,  as  thereon  he  wa^ed 
precious  hours;  while  the  placing  of  the  motto  "In  God 
We  Tru^,"  on  the  gold  coins  by  other  hands  than  his, 
will  still  further  mar  a  composition  which  has  already 
suffered  greatly  in  the  process  of  reproduction. 
^The  Caryatids,  his  final  large  commission,  absorbed 
him  to  a  tremendous  degree  and  marked  his  ultimate 
tendency  to  draw  away  from  the  decorative  in  favor 
of  the  monumental.  As  the  building  they  were  to 
adorn  is  large  and  reposeful,  the  sculptor  wished  to 
reflec5t  these  qualities.  Fir^  he  considered  having 
winged  figures.  Then  he  believed  it  might  be  well  to 
place  garlands  in  their  hands.  Next  he  originated  the 
scheme  wherein  the  four  central  Caryatids  held  lettered 
tablets,  those  on  the  ends  carrying  palms.  Finally  he 
decided  to  place  palms  in  the  hands  of  the  ones  on  the 
corners,  while  the  middle  figures  should  bear  objects 
which  denoted  Architecture,  Painting,  Sculpture  and 
Music. 

^The  relief  which  he  made  of  Mrs.  Saint-Gaudens 
was  the  laft  work  which  he  touched  with  his  hands. 
The  composition^diverted  him  greatly  as  he  could  work 
on  it  while  seated.  But  his  death  came  before  he  could 
finish  it. 

^During  the  la^  few  years  Saint-Gaudens  was  ill  for 
much  of  the  time,  yet  whenever  pain  left  him  for  a  few 
hours,  his  courage  and  his  hope  returned  and  he  con- 
^antly  repeated  to  his  friends  that  life  became  more 
and  more  worth  living  as  each  day  passed.

the  Secretary  of  the  Saint-Gaudens  Memorial  Exhibition  by  Miss  Lucille  A. 
Le  Brethon: 

I  am  in  receipt  of  your  letter  of  the  1  7th,  and  delayed  answering  as  I  wished  to 
procure  from  my  niece,  Mrs.  Arnold  Moser,  2 1 4  Ea^  1 5th  Street,  a  topaz  cameo, 
the  very  fuSt  piece  of  work  made  by  Augudlus  Saint-Gaudens  under  my  father's 
tuition.  The  onyx  cameo  which  I  am  also  sending  you  for  exhibition  is  one  of 
the  laA  things  made  by  him  while  with  my  father,  Jules  Le  Brethon.  There  can 
be  no  doubt  of  the  authenticity  of  these  two  cameos  (which  my  father  always 
kept  and  prized  very  much),  as  the  accompanying  photograph  shows  him  at 
work  in  my  father's  ftudio.  I  am  sending  the  two  cameos  and  photograph  under 
separate  cover  by  regiftered  mail.
